Outfit Post: Courtyard Dinner in Beverly Hills

Bar Bouchon is a gorgeous spot in Beverly Hills that my sister and I have become obsessed with. Tuna tartare with quail egg? Yes, please. We invited about seven friends, grabbed a private table out on the terrace by the lawn, snuggled up under a heat lamp, and ate to our hearts content. Halfway through dinner, John and I received a text from our best friend Clint demanding us to drive up into the

Weekends Were Made for Fun

To kick start the weekend, I had a pretty good Friday afternoon if I must say. Manicure, Check! Haircut, Check! Intelligentsia run and brunch with Angel, Check! Oh and the sun was out for once... Sounds like a PERFECT day to me. Off to one of our favorites, Avec, tonight for dinner. Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Dinner Parties and Silver Nail Polish

Last night John and I hosted a couple of our closest friends at our house for a yummy home cooked meal and waaaaaaay too many bottles of wine. In the middle of my five hour cooking extravaganza I, of course, made time to throw on my newest nail polish shade I just snatched up! Normally I always don either RGB or Chanel shades, but I just purchased "DIAMOND GEEZER" by Butter London yesterday and I

Sister Sister Switch-A-Roo

Hello all my gorgeous readers. Those of you who have been reading my posts for the past two years know that I have been dying to take the plunge and go blonde, well, for about two years now!!! This past weekend I went for it! Then funny enough, my naturally blonde sister decided to come in and take on my natural color... red!!! So a "sister switch" of the decade went down. My incredible

Outfit Post: Alice In Wonderland

My LA trip is coming to an end? But I feel like I just got here! So sad. For my last day, Jewls and I lunched at Lemonade and then decided to go up to the Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills. If there is a place in this world that resembles "Alice in Wonderland"... this is it! I love it! So beautiful, you almost forget it is real. Hope you all have had a wonderful weekend! Back to reality in snowy

Outfit Post: Off Into The Hills We Go...

After a long day of shopping and a yummy lunch, we threw ourselves together and jumped up into the hills for Scott's second birthday celebration!!! I love partying on Thursdays because it kick starts my weekend. Ha! All my best friends in one room, blasting music, and dancing all night... It was honestly kind of epic. Now if only I can get it to keep dumping snow in Chicago so that Liza can't get

Outfit Post: White Out

Only a few more days until my other half leaves me!!! Sob!!! Trying to cram all of our errands in, we met my sister at Joan's on Third for lunch, grabbed our 50th Ice Blend from Coffee Bean, and busted over to Barney's. We had yet another dinner party to go to last night and we all needed something new to wear... So Barney's was the best shot for everyone to find something fabulous. :)  We raced

Outfit Post: Secret Garden

Yesterday afternoon, Jewls and I were running a bunch of errands in Beverly Hills. Driving down Santa Monica, we saw the most gorgeous park on our right. Columns, an incredible fountain, and a heck of a lot of greenery... something I have NOT seen in quite a while! Ha! Mid-day lighting and a sick camera = amazing photos. I live for it.

Outfit Post: Swan Ravine

After another fun day of running around together, Lize and I decided to go out on a date with each other at my old stomping ground, Chateau Marmont. For our first night out alone since she got here, we both found ourselves wearing total balletic ensembles. Hmmm... Swan Lake must be subconsciously inspiring us! We had lovely champagne and loads of juicy gossip to catch up on. All in all, it was a

Outfit Post: On the Edge of the Sun

Jewls and I accidentally slept in late, so I guess I'm finally getting over my jet lag! With a long list of errands to do, we scrambled to get dressed and start our day. After a pit stop at Coffee Bean and a trip to the grocery store, I decided to go to work with my best friend for a bit. As the sun was setting over an amazing view of Los Angeles, what better time to squeeze in a quick shoot? ;)

Outfit Post: Scott's Birthday Party in Bel Air

One of my best friends Scott threw his birthday bash at his dear friend Sandy Gallin's house last night. It was a bonus that Lize was in town to come to this fabulous event with me. After some socializing, a wonderful dinner, and many glasses of champagne, we raided the candy jars and said our goodbyes to all my favorite boys. Hope you all had a great Saturday!X. JewlsJohn and one of my best

Outfit Post: Shopping Day One

First full day in LA and what should Jewls and I do? Go shopping of course! We brunched at my favorite spot of all time, Doughboys, and then hit up the stores one by one... American Rag, Creatures of Comfort, Opening Ceremony, Satine, Revolve... you get the picture. ;) It has never felt so good to be here. All I need in life at the moment is sun, my best friend, and extreme retail therapy. Oh and

Outfit Post: LA Nights

BEST FRIENDS REUNITE!!! Last night I called John and begged him to make a grocery run and cook a delicious dinner for Liza's first night in LA. Tired from a long day of travel, we changed for the night and invited my sister and brother in-law over. After a light meal and two bottles of champagne, we kicked off our heels to play XBOX Kinect. This was beyond hilarious and a total sight to see! I am

Outfit Post: CHI to LALA

Well everyone... I finally made it to LA after a very long week of anticipation and waiting! Ahh! It has never felt so good to leave the freezing cold weather in Chicago and trade it for palm trees and 75 degrees. I LIVE FOR IT. Jewls rolled up to the airport curb in her convertible, grabbed my luggage like the Hulk, threw it in the backseat of her car, and we were off!  Horray! After some

Outfit Post: Jenny's 30th Birthday Luncheon

Yesterday was my sister Jenny's 30th birthday luncheon at Sable, a great new restaurant at the Palomar, a new hotel downtown on State Street. Everyone seemed to have a great time between the yummy food and good talk. I can't wait to celebrate again this upcoming Friday on her real birthday! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Today I'll be laying around enjoying a lazy Sunday indoors. :) XO,

Outfit Post: Hazy Shade of Winter

Jaunary is a weird month for me. The holidays are over, it's a brand new year, and it's kind of bleh, don't you think? Always hard for me to get back into the swing of things after all the December festivities. On the bright side though, it's my sister's birthday very soon, so my mom, her, and I went shopping last night to look for something special for her 30th. She ended up picking out a very

Outfit Post: Post Holiday Shopping

Haaaaaaaaappy New Year guys! I am back!! Sorry I haven't posted in a bazillion years. I was up in Vancouver and Whistler, Canada with John and his fam skiing for the holidays! I had such an amazing time and am definitely having a serious case of the post-vacay blues. I am missing the snow and the mountains and LA just feels so so so dull to me! Blagh! To perk myself up, I am hitting the sales and

Outfit Post: December Daze

CANNOT believe it is already the end of December. Where has the time gone? I kind of wish I was going away this month, but oh well... I'll be watching a lot of movies, eating good food, and doing a lot of snuggling with Angel and my kitty. Oh and can we talk all the amazing sales online and in the stores? Craziness! I will be posting my favorite sale picks asap! Hope you all are having a great
